For example, the only way humans have been able to travel at great speeds is through the intelligent design of vehicles. Yet, evolutionarians assume that animals who travel at great speeds somehow "evolved" from slower animals. In the case of the frumious bandersnatch, this assumption is absurd.

The bandersnatch is an animal that's so fast, it cannot be caught without the aid of an Italian sports car. What possible purpose could a bandersnatch have to evolve to such a speed?

50-60 miles per hour would have been sufficient to outrun predators, so any speed above that is evolutionarily unnecessary. Bandersnatches, however, can travel at speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour.

This proves that God created bandersnatches to run fast so that he could race them and bet on the races. It's in one of the non-canonical books of the Bible (which are also literally true.)

Take that, jabberwocklutionists.

Did god invent bread and the oven and he showed this knowledge to Adam (or Eve) how to handle things to finally make the bread? Or did Handy Adam and Enlightened Eve already invent the oven and bread in The Garden of Eden? If so, where did he get the knowledge from if he had not already eaten from the tree of knowledge?
Should I just stop reading the bible?

am a tad wary of being mistaken for asking a racist question (im not btw, i work alongside many ethnic backgrounds, and am friendly with them all)

can anyone explain to me why independance was important, and, if it was to leave Britain (technically a sweeping statement, sorry), then what are the benefits of living here?

im completely open minded, so please dont use this as an opportunity to sling racist abuse

That the world as it is today is more selfish because there are more people in it versus years ago when it had less people. Therefore, one was able to be kinder, more thoughtful, and less selfish. Parents had more time to teach and show their children how to behave in public and towards one another.

or

Do you believe people just don't care period and are out for themselves? Since things or rules are no longer black or white but gray, anything goes as long as it does not cause harm?

Or are both a cop out to responsibility?

The theory of evolutionology says that things are the way they are because they evolved to be that way. But that's ridiculous. Some things are the way they are because that's how God created them.

For example, both the sky and the seas are blue. The theory of evolutionism says that the sky and seas evoluted from earlier versions of the sky and seas, which may have been different colors. But this is ridiculous, as neither the sky nor the sea can reproduce. And why would they evolve to the same color? There's no advantage of them being blue.

The reason that both the sky and sea are blue is because God had a lot of blue paint that he needed to use when he created the Earth. God used that blue paint to color both the sky and the oceans. That is why they're both blue.

The fact that the sky and water are both blue proves that the creation myth in the Bible is literally true.

Take that, inanimate-lutionists.

because you know i'm a girly girl, 13 yrs. old and i'm attending all-girls school. so this school year there was a tomboy that really looks hot because she looks like a handsome guy and looks like katherine moennig (L word). I've got a crush on her, everytime I saw her I just turn around. I know that she likes me too because her friends always tease me to her, she always winked and looked at me (even though i'm just passing their classroom then she'll stare and smile) and me and a lot of people said that she likes me because she've told them. Me and my friends just keep it a secret. So, do you think she really likes me? do you think I'm bisexual? What should I do to make me and her close (cause I really like her)? Should I tell her that I like her too?

Man as we know him today had an origin. Cultures and political systems have origins, too. But suppose the origins of man and of culture were both due to a Fall. Then the man fallen into this system will be under its spell, its hypnotic influence-in Biblical language, a curse. "All who sin are slaves" to whatever or whoever seduces them away from reason.
Hypnotized, we fall asleep to our former way, "awakening" under the system that spirited us there.
No matter how low we sink, we all excuse away what we are as we "awaken" to what we have become.
Strangely, the very system or person who made us what we are is the one we elect to love us as we are. Our election of that type is compulsive and slavish. Those people are psychopaths; we, the people, are the psychotics who "uses" psychopaths to keep us asleep to our faults.

Can you who are awake see that that's what is happening here in YA and especially R&S ?

What say you all ?

Religion vs Science. I want to give a viewpoint and ask for inputs.

I keep hearing that Science and Religion do not mix. I disagree. I actually think that Science and Religion have the same outcomes. But, since people are unable to think about mixing them, they feel as though they have to choose one or the other.

Consider this...

Big Bang - Science says that the Universe was created by a large explosion that spread matter, dust, gaseous clouds, etc. throughout space. A gaseous cloud gathered dust and formed into a solid and eventually into a ball of dirt and water that we now call Earth. This took billions of years. Could it be possible that this is how God created the Earth? The bible says it was a day, but maybe a day to God can not be measured. Maybe its equal to billions of years. Is it not possible that God created a huge explosion that eventually formed the Earth and that was how he created things?

(Continued...Please read entire post...)

Have you heard true stories of how dolphins have saved shipwrecked and drowning humans

monkeys and even elephants who have taken care of human babies

Dogs who have saved their human friends from disaster

while these animals may not have the exact sense of self awareness we humans have what makes you think that they are not close to it?

I'm a cyber troll and I'm okay,
I troll all night and I flame all day.

He's a cyber troll and he's okay,

I set my sites, on a friendly folk,
I know they all hate me
On forums I go trolling
And catch some pawns for tea

I wreck their threads, give them the hump
I laugh as sites turn sour.
I put on my disguises,
And screw around for hours.

okay see i believe in god and eveything like that-but like you know how people say its wrong to get plastic surgery and all-well i don't think god meant to like make a retarted baby. if you know what i mean-like then that retarted kid grows up and wants to look better becasue he/she never did. so its not fair for he/she. so i don't think god would purposley mean to cause a person so much grief and maybe he did make them like that on purpose-but only to make his/her life longer or for any other reason for man-kind. okay so what do you think!?*
